Marriott International has announced the grand reopening of Colony Club, a Luxury Collection Resort, Barbados, marking the property’s debut within the Luxury Collection portfolio and inviting global explorers to experience its blend of colonial charm and contemporary luxury.
Located on Barbados’ Platinum Coast and originally built in the 1930s as a private seaside residence, the property later became the island’s first residential club and has remained a cherished retreat for over seven decades. Now, as part of The Luxury Collection, Colony Club reopens following a renovation led by Marriott International, featuring redesigned guestrooms, enriched wellness spaces, and elevated culinary experiences.
The newly redesigned rooms feature bespoke furnishings and ocean-inspired palettes. Guests can unwind in the resort’s lagoon-style pools, framed by tropical gardens and colonial architecture. The setting is elevated by anticipatory poolside service that reflects the warmth and charm of Barbadian hospitality.
Colony Club offers open-air dining with views and menus crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including produce from its organic garden. Laguna, the main restaurant, serves elevated Bajan classics in a refined setting overlooking tropical gardens and a lagoon-style pool. For a laid-back vibe, Sunset Bar & Deck offers light bites and cocktails by the beach, with sunset views creating an ideal evening backdrop. Signature experiences include themed nights like Lobster & Jazz, Steak Night, and the beloved Sunday Brunch, all accompanied by live entertainment and an authentic island atmosphere.
Among the resort’s standout features is the Rum Vault, the first of its kind in Barbados, a boutique tasting room showcasing over 150 rums from around the world. Led by a Rum Ambassador and a Vault Chef, the Rum Vault offers an epicurean experience with curated rum pairings and culinary moments that celebrate the island’s spirit and flavors heritage.
The revitalized wellness program includes holistic treatments inspired by Barbadian traditions at The Spa at Colony Club, which is set in the tropical gardens. The spa menu is based on a five elements theory: wood for rejuvenation, fire for energy, earth for balance, metal for detoxification and water to soothe, including facials, massages, and body therapies.
Among activities that explorers can enjoy are the Island-to-Table dinners, personalized cooking classes at the organic garden, a refreshed gym, and complimentary water sports, including motorized options such as water skiing, wakeboarding, and banana boat rides.
Now part of The Luxury Collection, Colony Club will operate under a European Plan, offering guests the freedom to curate their own culinary journey while enjoying elevated amenities and personalized service. Reservations are open for stays beginning September 1, 2025.
